Rise of a Fallen God 107 March Through Hell

Seeing the lone female prepare to fight them the group laugh out loud, they know she is powerful and for that reason brought a group of Void Realm experts to take her in alive or dead.

They had no idea how dangerous she was but an entire group of Void Realm experts should be enough for a single person.

Fighting against 12 opponents within the same Realm was going to be a challenge Laura knew this best, she was a trained in recon and assassinations being surrounded was not something she ever liked.

Breathing in deep she fades away from her enemies vision blending into the darkness that is space.

"Be on your guard she is trained in ambushes, she is just a scout watch out for assassination attempts!

Those gifted in spatial arts set up a barrier around us, track and keep her from escaping."

The leader issued mental orders to his troops as soon as his opponent went into stealth, he held onto his staff before slamming it down.

As a wave of force spread out, his troops moved closer together to avoid being the target of a sneak attack.

After a moment of silence they assumed their target either escaped or was hiding until they left the area, as they could not find her before no matter what methods they used they stood in place waiting for her to strike.

Screaming heard from the center of their group alerted everyone of an attack, one of the female's in their group talented in spatial manipulation was missing.

Those who were near her and saw the attack gave the best description of what happened but they were all at a loss at what they had just saw.

"She just appeared behind Rashul and took her into a distorted space, it was like she absorbed her body into a seperate world.

Be careful I believe the enemy knows about our race."

They were right Laura had gained plenty of information about the various races within the Lantar Realm, the ones before her were only partly physical beings they were able to pass through most if not all objects.

Possessing deadly soul and ice type abilities, the Shadow race was feared for their soul tearing abilities that drained the life and memories out of their enemies.

The truly powerful Shadow Wraiths could possess living bodies taking it as their own, this is one of the reason the Shadow race was so feared.

With this ability alone they could and have expanded their kind all throughout this Realm.

Now with a light blue barrier around each of the remaining 11 they start to launch attacks in every direction trying to force Laura out of hiding.

As the enemy bombards Laura with attacks of every element along with the sheer force from their weapon swings, she starts to have flashback of her time training on Jernai the homeworld of the Ancients.

....

"Get up how are you going to survive when the Gods send those 'Abominations' back into Teress?

As females of the Ancient race we are not allowed to fail! Grit your teeth and endure it, Guardians be damned we the next Generation shall be the ones to save Teress let the Guardians sleep, they have done enough!"

A young Ancient spoke to the fallen Laura, as she lay there on the frost covered ground she sees before her both her childhood friends.

Within this hellish frost they have been training since they could walk, the girl who called for her to get up had a sour look on her face as she carried another on her back as three youths made their way up the mountain.

Tia the loud princess that always yells at her and Kate, the shy silent cry baby the three girls trained together in this hellish frozen facility meant to train the youths of the Ancient race into Elites for the war they expect to come at any time.

With a smile on her face Laura recalls all the horrible things Tia said about serving the Guardians, only to later grow to become just like all members of the Ancients and worship the very ground the Guardians died upon.

As she killed another one of the Shadow wraiths she remembered the words Tia always tried to live up too.

"If the Guardians can die for the uncountable mortal races that do not even know about their existence, we as those chosen to take their place must never give up!

We can't be outdone by those female barbarians, those Draconians even use science now!"

With glowing silver blood running down her arms and pouring out the wounds on her body Laura clutches her blades tightly in her hands as she counts the 7 enemies she has left.

They no long could be fooled by her ability to blend into her surroundings, the leader used a powerful flash of light to flood the area she was trapped in, in light that revealed her location as bright as day to these shadow like creatures.

Barely able to stand she checks her wounds one last time, estimating how many more she could take down before she fell unconscious.

"Move your ass Laura how can you call yourself my attendant if you always find yourself on my back!

Even that wimp Kate is outdoing you, when my mother becomes the ruler of the Ancients we have to make sure we are not a burden to her."

Tia covered in snow with pale lips could be seen with a fire of determination in her eyes despite her frail looking starved body.

Sophia was Tia's mother while she and Kate were both born to a couple that served Tia's family.

If they succeeded in becoming the new Rulers they would always face the threat of death, as any Ancient could directly challenge for the position of Leader.

While success would be filled with glory, failure would result in the death of all those of your bloodline for the crime of rebellion.

The fight for power for Ancients was the most serious of matters besides living and dying for the Guardians.

Laura pulling her blade out of the back of the leader of the Shadow wraiths feels his cold blood moving into her wounds only to be disintegrated by a viscous force.

As she killed the Shadow next to the leader to gain this chance to attack she also received another wound.

This time it was a clean cut, causing her to starting losing her vision as she retreated from the remaining 6.

"Dam you! Just die already, never in my long life has anyone been able to resist my blood possession within the Void Realm.

What is in your blood? What could be so powerful to force me out, I wonder maybe taking you alive is more worth it after all."

Sure of their victory even with half of them finding death on this mission, they move to tighten the space around their prey.

Laura had long since called for help but she knew she might not get any in time, as she defended from more and more attacks her blood began to join the blood from her victims floating in space.

She was upset that she would die here, even worse the one she captured would be released once she fell.

She should have planned for an escape before coming here, was the only thing currently on her mind.

A blinding light was rushing at her as she was in a dazed state, lifting up her blades she managed to block the attack but it caused a crack to appear on one of the blades.

Watching her weapon reach its limit they know that she too is soon to collapse and then they can take her away, as they began to relax their guard against the half dead female warrior they noticed her weapon repairing itself.

"Her weapon is unique I want it!! None of you are to report about her weapons do you understand me! It can heal itself with the wielders blood how amazing is that. I can even feel it growing stronger!"

As these words left his mouth Laura no longer could hold on and fainted from massive blood loss, as her body floated in space they attacked her a few more times to make sure she was down and out.

When she failed to react to their attacks they were waiting for them to strike her when a massive tear opened before the lifeless body of their enemy.

Stepping out of the rift and catching the body of Laura Dashnell has a smile on his face as he places the sleeping woman on his back, absorbing all the attacks into himself.

"Greeting Shadow Wraiths! No.. no that would be rude you go by Shades do you not? I am this girls Master, when her weapon broke I was alerted of her need for aid and so! Here I am.

Well I just wanted to show off, my other wives are on their way here but let's just say they got lost before they could reach here. Ah! Maners well before I go I guess I could introduce myself.

I am Dashnell, The Dragon Emperor. I will return one day for those trapped in that seal, so wait for me!"

As I tried to move back into the rift and bring Laura away it was sliced in half just before I could enter it.

Looking in the direction of the group that attacked Laura another 5 people showed up each of them stronger than those currently present.

"Why don't you stay awhile young one, you might find the inside of that seal to your liking like the rest of those Demons. Since you are here to save them you might as well go inside!"

Not waiting for the other party to respond the Elder tried to seize space around me and Laura, as she was too injured to take any more damage I sent her into my void world as I held off the attack.

"Oh. No wonder she was able to remain undetected for so long, you possess such masterful control over space.

No matter we only need one of you to find out where you came from and why you dare to help those Demons."

With a visible smirk on my face I wield Laura's short swords in my hands.

"Since you wish to play so much let this dragon be your teacher!"
